Disney isn't slowing down its expansion plans, with four more cruise liners also on the way.

Good news for fans (both parents and kids) of the hugely popular Australian TV series: Bluey is getting its own stage show at Disneyland. Debuting on March 22, 2026, Bluey's Best Day Ever will be held at the Fantasyland Theatre.
Disney is describing the show as immersive, with the theater to be transformed into Bluey's school classroom and grounds, including a gnome village and fairy garden. Bluey and her sister, Bingo, will appear live on stage several times each day, along with actors and musicians, to "bring to life the popular music and games emblematic of beloved Bluey episodes." Those games will include Keepy Uppy and the Grannies, as well as appearances by Chattermax and Unicorse.
The Australian cartoon about a family of dogs is a worldwide hit, and Disney will release a Bluey movie in 2027. (In the meantime, you can watch Bluey episodes and minisodes on Disney Plus.) Disneyland will also be serving up Bluey-themed foods at Troubadour Tavern.
